DLL Hijacking Vulnerability - Microsoft creates tool to control DLL loading

This tool provides a temporary mitigation of risks until a more comprehensive solution emerges

QUOTE: Another option for protecting your systems is to deploy a tool that can help prevent exploitation of this issue. Knowledge Base article 2264107 offers for download a tool that allows customers to selectively change the library loading behavior, either system-wide or for specific applications

The update allows the administrator to define the following on a system-wide or a per-application basis:

* Remove the current working directory from the library search path.
* Prevent an application from loading a library from a WebDAV location.
* Prevent an application from loading a library from both a WebDAV, as well as a remote UNC location.
